摘　　要：Purpose The Farmer’s Walk(FW)may supplement resistance training through functional tasks like lifting and carrying weight over various distances.Minimal information exists concerning the intramuscular responses resulting from FW per-formance,possibly impacting its application in exercise prescription.Therefore,the purpose of the study was to investigate Creatine Kinase(CK)and myoglobin(Mb)responses following the Farmers Walk Condition(FWC)compared to a control protocol(NWC).Methods Fifteen participants(Mean±SEM;age:21.6±0.5 years;height:172.5±2.4 cm;body weight:81.8±4.0 kg)completed an initial session to measure body composition,lower body power,and strength.Participants then completed two counter-balanced exercise protocols consisting of a 20-m walk performed within 5 sets of 2 repetitions while either carrying weight(FWC;average wt:85.15±25.55 kg)or not(NWC)with collection of Visually Perceived Muscle Soreness(VPMS),Ratings of Perceived Exertion(RPE),and blood samples.VPMS,blood samples,and Countermovement Jump(CMJ)height were also collected during recovery from each exercise protocol with significance of P<0.05.Results Significant differences were observed between exercise protocols performed including participant RPE(P<0.01),CK(P=0.01),and overall,upper body,and lower body VPMS(P<0.05)post-FWC.No significant differences were noted for Mb or CMJ height.Conclusion Training variables implemented during the FWC may have indirectly minimized muscle damage and neuro-muscular inhibitions in performance.Although participants reported mild soreness,the negligible physiological damage suggests the FWC is a safe and appropriate functional movement exercise.
